Don’t ever under estimate where this is all going – he will have the money to pay for slick targeted campaigns – it might come from loons yes or from unlikely wealthy sources – but it will buy clever people who will target his know audience.

I agree. He’s nothing if not a slick (some would say slimy) operator when it comes to handling the media and some people seem to lap it up.

If ever you’re talking to a UKIP supporter and they’re doing their usual waffling on about how wonderful UKIP are and how “LibLabCon” and the EU have ruined the country etc. ask them who they would like to see as Home Secretary or Chancellor.

When most say they support UKIP they actually only know Farage, and as he showed last week on the Daily Politics he doesn’t agree with or even in some cases know about much of UKIP’s platform.

There’s a reason UKIP are a one man band. Whenever anyone else gets in front of a camera they embarrass themselves. From Robert Kilroy-Silk onwards.
